4. Medical Transcriptionist/Transcriber
Don’t mix medical transcriptionist jobs with data entry jobs. It is because transcriptionist jobs require completely different skill sets than a regular data entry work.
In this industry there is a huge shortage of qualified Medical Transcriptionists.
Hospitals and Insurance companies are in great need of transcribers who can document patient’s health report and other research data.
So a transcriber requires good listening skills, knowledge of medical jargons and terminology, fast typing skills and at least two years of prior experience in this field.
But you need some money to invest in buying computer hardware and software along with a transcriber unit.
Medical transcriptionists earn $40 – $50 per hour with an earning potential of $65,000 a year. This income is way more than a regular data entry operator.
5. Online Tutor
Teaching can be a very lucrative job and can be done Online right from your home.
You can build your own website and get students to join your tutoring class. You have to look out for students by leveraging the power of social media platforms like FaceBook, Whatsup, YouTube etc.
You conduct coaching sessions online where you teach a batch of 10 to 15 students for 45-55 minutes. You make around $40 – $50 for each session.
If you are willing to put in some effort and able to get right demographics of students then you can easily earnup to $50,000 per year investing very little.
Although you can teach many other subjects like Math, Physics, History but English courses are in great demand because there is no dearth of clients around the world who are willing to pay any amount.
